     Mexico's new leader has a message for U.S. officials as he visits Washington this week: Ties between the neighboring nations must go beyond the drug war.  Just four days before his inauguration, Mexican President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto will meet with U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday.  He says he wants to reshuffle the list of priorities the U.S. and Mexico share.  A crackdown on cartels was a hallmark of President Felipe Calderon's 6 year tenure, and the U.S. gave its support, offering $1.6 billion to aid in the fight.  Pena Nieto said he plans to focus more on reducing violence, but he's offered few specifics about that approach.

     The 46-year-old former governor, who won Mexico's presidential vote in July, has said a top priority is to deepen economic ties with the U.S.  The U.S. is Mexico's largest trading partner.  The two countries share billions of dollars in imports and exports and a border that stretches nearly 2,000 miles.  For the first time in more than a decade, economic issues are likely to dominate the agenda shared by Mexico and the U.S.  This is because drug-related violence appears to have plateaued and illegal immigration in the U.S. from Mexico had dropped dramatically.  Tuesday's meeting could signal a new approach to the relationship between the two countries.

     Some people have said Obama neglected Latin America during his first term, and lambasted the U.S. president for not bringing up Mexico or other countries in the region during last month's foreign policy debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney.  At a forum, Obama said the U.S. is committed to continuing to work alongside Mexico to fight organized crime.

     At a forum hosted by the Spanish-language Univision network in September, Obama said the United States is committed to continuing to work alongside Mexico to fight organized crime.  Both the White House and Pena Nieto's transition team have said security will be a key topic during Tuesday's meeting, and U.S. officials should continue to push for justice and human rights reforms south of the border.  Immigration also is likely to come up Tuesday, since the topic is important to residents on both sides of the border.  Topics also like, education partnerships between the two countries and global issues could also be on the table.

performing arts(puppet guy)
article I got this info. from was dated to be July 28, 2012

     

       On Ronald William Brown's website, posed with puppets, was really excited about birthday party performances and offered workshops for school groups.  Now the 57-year-old Florida man is behind bars, and he is facing federal charges of conspiring to kidnap a child and possessing child pornography.  The authorities accuse the puppeteer of having graphic discussions online about abusing, kidnapping, killing, and even eating children.  He was arrested in Largo, Florida, last week, and appeared in federal court Tuesday.  A 29-page criminal complaint filed in federal court includes transcripts of several online chats and details of what investigators found when they searched Brown's home.  A CD found in his bedroom dresser's sock drawer was child pornography, images of what appear to be deceased children, and a missing-child flier.

    Brown told investigators he had discussed kidnapping, killing, and eating a boy from his church but said, "it was just a fantasy and he could never, and would never hurt anyone."  Brown still thinks he is innocent.  Durning a 1998 traffic stop, a sheriff's deputy spotted boys' underwear between the front seats in the car Brown was driving.  Brown told the deputy he used the boys' underwear for puppet shows.

   Brown also told investigators that he helps out in the children's area of his church, and that a group of children from his neighborhood came to his house every Wednesday for pizza before he gives them a ride in the church van.  A resident of Brown's, Laura Schate said that Brown would never hang out with or speak to any adults.  Some neighbors also said that the children were always eager to talk with Brown.  Brown will be in jail for a very long time.

     The Rolling Stones began their 50th anniversary tour with the biggest bang on Sunday night as a host of special guests joined them for a packed show in London's O2 Arena.  Former Stones friends, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor returned to the ranks, while Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck were also on hand to help with the celebrations.  Wyman left the Stones in 1992, and he was greeted with an applause and a handshake from Keith Richards as he returned to play bass on "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women."  The biggest cheers came for Taylor, who hasn't been a Stone since 1974, he played trademark blues guitar solos on an extended version of "Midnight Rambler" and looked like he was enjoying every second of it.
     Bilge brought a gospel feel to "Gimme Shelter," trading vocals with Mick Jagger, and Beck did a flashy guitar turn on 1969's "I'm Going Down."  The evening remained very much about the Stones' main members and their remarkable career though, with the set spanning from their second-ever single, 1963's "I Wanna be Your Man" to their latest, 2012's "Doom and Gloom."
    The event ended up pretty much like anyone else's 50th birthday party: there were some old friends, some laughs, some tears, plenty of memories, and a lot of embarrassing dancing.

        Spain's football duopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona has become so dominant that sponsors have lost interest in backing other Spanish clubs.  Real Madrid is the richest club in the world by revenue -- $695 million -- and second only to Manchester United in market value.  Meanwhile, Barcelona widely recognized as the best football team in the world with a pedigree of stars such as Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta: is the second richest club in the world by revenue.  The presence of these two football behemoths combined with billions of euros of debt - estimated at $4.5 billion for Primera Division teams -- and liabilities has meant Spanish football clubs can no longer cope with this burden.

       Traditionally local governments in Spain have had a role to play in the financial management of football clubs. In the past, teams such as Valencia and Madrid, as sporting institutions, have received subsidies from local authorities.  But in the current economic climate, state investment in football clubs is not a high priority for many politicians as the central government in Madrid grapples with a spiralling national debt and chronic unemployment of over 25%.  Spain, the eurozone's fourth largest economy is likely to be the next bailout casualty of the debt crisis in the 17-nation currency union.  The government in Madrid has already requested a rescue package for its ailing banks, which require almost 60 billion euros ($76.4 million) in support following an audit in September.

      Spanish football the financial situation is even more dire, so much so that one Spanish club in the third division, Real Oviedon has turned to football fans for help.  Earlier this month the Asturias-based team launched a campaign, whereby fans could effectively buy shares at approximately 11 euros each in exchange for a token stake in the club.  Word of Real Oviedo's plight went viral on Twitter and football fans across the globe responded by purchasing shares and raising more than one million euros in nine days.  Gay de Liebana argued that the current state of Spanish football clubs is the result of poor financial regulation and supervision.

Hitchcock Summary-Hitchcock is a love story about one of the most influential filmmakers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife and partner Alma Reville.  The film takes place during the making of Hitchcock's seminal movie Psycho.  This movie is a true story behind the difficult production of the famed Alfred Hitchcock classic, which brings insight to Hitchcock's fascination with the real-life serial killer who served as the inspiration for Norman Bates.
-This movie is defiantly a movie i would love to see because I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock. 

Rust and Bone Summary- Rust and Bone, is about a struggling single father who helps a beautiful whale trainer recover her will after a trrible accident that leaves her confined to a wheelchair.  Lonely and destitute, Ali leaves the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son, Sam.  When Ali lands a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look up for the father and son.  Then one night, after breaking up a fight in the club, Ali meets Stephanie, and slips her his number after dropping her off safely at home.  Though Stephanie's position on the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prespect for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali.  Her spirit broken by the same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually  finds the courage to go on living through transcendent moments spent with Ali, a man with precious little pity, but an enormous love of life.

The Central Park Five Summary- in 1989, five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and charged for brutally attacking and raping a white female jogger in Central Park.  News media got on the case, calling it "the crime of the century," but the truth about what really happened didn't become clear until after the five and spent years in prison for a crime they didn't commit.  With the central park five, this story of injustice finally gets the telling it deserves.  Based on Sarah Burns' best-selling book and co directed by her husband David McMahon and father, the beloved doc filmmaker Jen Burns, this great film tells the riveting tale of innocent young men blamed for a crime they didn't do, and it serves as a mirror for our times too.
-This movie seems like a great movie that I would love to see in theaters.









The App Killer Summary- A killer uses different cellphone apps to attract potential victims.  When a 20 year old tourist meets a guy through a popular app for gay men, it will become the worst nightmare he could have ever imagined.

Cafe de Flore Summary-“Cafe de Flore” is a love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways. Atmospheric, fantastical, tragic and hopeful, the film chronicles the parallel fates of Jacqueline, a young mother with a disabled son in the 1960s in Paris, and Antoine, a recently divorced, successful DJ in present day Montreal.

Holy Motors Summary- Over the course of a single day, Monsieur Oscar travels by limousine around Paris to a series of nine “appointments,” transforming into new characters or incarnations at each stop.

Then he becomes a gypsy crone, begging for spare change on a bridge over the Seine. Inside a digital production facility, he’s a ninja warrior transformed by cutting-edge technology into a reptilian sex g-d.

Then he’s the melancholy father of a teenage daughter, followed by a shadowy assassin sent to kill his own doppelgänger, a dying old man, and finally a thwarted lover revisiting a flame from his past atop a decaying Right Bank department store next to the Pont-Neuf. Monster movie, film noir, romantic drama, musical, crime thriller, futuristic sex fantasia...Holy Motorsis all of these and, then again, none of these. It is a ravishing, shape-shifting, fever dream of becoming, unraveling and starting all over again. From celluloid magic to the digital data stream, Monsieur Oscar’s epic journey of the soul is all of our dreams.

-This movie seems like an awesome movie that everyone should get a chance to watch because this movie seems like a movie no one has seen before.

      A Montana state lawmaker is asking that he be paid in gold coins because of his lack of faith in the U.S. dollar amid a rising deficit.  Jerry O'Neil, a Republican just reelected in his northern Montana district says his constituents told him he was not honoring his duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution, which O'Neil and Gold Standard supporters say requires the government to print money backed by gold.  "I believe that if you take a look at the Constitution, that's what it says," he told POLITICO.  "I think we've gotten a tremendously long way from it."  So he wrote a letter to the sate Legislature asking to be paid his public salary in gold and stated, "It is very likely the bottom will fall our from under the U.S. dollar.  Only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value." 

    A former supporter for Rep. Run Paul's (R-Texas) failed bid for president, O'Neil said he hasn't heard back from the Montana Legislature about his request.  O'Neil also said, "If we don't start paying that debt down, we're going to lose the country."  O'Neil also said that he collects about $7,000 annually from the Montana Legislature.  Currently, the U.S. Mint is selling the 2012 American Eagle One Ounce Gold Proof Coin for $1, 985.00.

Girl In Dublin Dies Because She Was Refused An Abortion

         In Dublin Ireland the debate over legalizing abortion in Ireland had flared after a woman suffering from blood poisoning was denied a quick termination of her pregnancy and died in an Irish hospital.  The Prime Minister, Enda Kenny said he is awaiting findings from three investigations into the Oct. 28 death of Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old Indian national living in Galway since 2008.

     Her husband says doctors diagnosed her when she was miscarrying one week before her death, then diagnosed the blood poisoning, but repeatedly denied their pleas for a termination because the fetus still had a heartbeat.  She died three days after the fetus died and its remains were surgically removed.  Opposition politicians called Wednesday for the government to pass a law that would give doctors clear rules on performing abortions to save a woman's life.

       Israeli airstrikes hit Palestinian targets in Gaza overnight, making direct hits on a "terror tunnel" and a weapons storage facility.  Militants have launched more than 110 rockets since Saturday too.  The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians, and will operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israeli.  The Hamas terror organization is the one responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.
      The strikers came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is ready to escalate its military response to attacks from Gaza.  Israeli forces are already striking at terror groups in Gaza that are behind the attacks.  The Palestinian death toll from Sunday's violence was six.  More than 30 Palestinians have been wounded, with 10 of them in critical condition.  Initial reports say four Israeli civilians were wounded by the rocket attacks.  Four Israeli soldiers were also wounded on Saturday.  Also, due to continuous rocket attacks from Gaza, school was canceled Sunday in some Israeli communities.  There needs to be a stop to this madness going on in the Middle East!
